Michigan State recently got a commitment from Indianapolis native Isaiah Lewis who adds his considerable talent to a quality pool of secondary talent.

So it only seemed natural to check in with Indianapolis (IN) Pike wide receiver Dyjuan Lewis to see where he stands in his recruitment, but Dyjuan's approach to recruiting is totally different than the approach taken by Isaiah.

For instance, DyJuan Lewis decided not to camp at any of the various college camps taking place in the Midwest. "I just felt I needed to concentrate on (getting ready) for this season."

Lewis did make an appearance at the Scout.com Cincinnati combine and was selected as one of the Elite Eight offensive performers. Scout.com's Midwest Recruiting Analyst Allen Trieu said of Lewis' performance "(He) measured about where we expected and then ran one of the three fastest times at the combine."

"He has an impressive combination of size, speed and athleticism. We have seen him do better in 1-1s than he did on Sunday, but he still made a few plays which show his talent. It is no surprise why big time schools are coming after him. His upside is tremendous. Once he adds more consistency into his game, he'll really be able to maximize his potential."

Tim Adams of IndianaVarsityScout.com reported Lewis' coach at Pike HS as saying that the big target had narrowed down his list of schools to eight including Cincinnati, Purdue, Michigan State, Illinois, Kentucky, South Carolina, Missouri and
Oregon, but the 6-foot-2, 187-pounder told us "I'm still looking at all my schools." Perhaps it's the eight left remaining he was referring to, but its worth noting he has fifteen scholarship offers to date.

Lewis took a visit to Michigan State earlier this year and said he liked what he saw there including the campus.

Asked about his timetable, DyJuan told GSN, "I'll probably make it around midseason." He said he's not worried about that being a distraction during his senior season because he felt like he could handle it.

"It been pretty good, just a little bit hectic at times," he said. "It was a good experience. I felt like I learned how to improve my routes and making moves to get open. It helped me a lot because whenever you experience good competition it only makes you get better."

Lewis is the kind of big, speedy wide receiver that Michigan State has recruited successfully in the past including players like Mark Dell, Keshawn Martin and B.J. Cunningham who have all been effective in the MSU offense.

He is the kind of player that is worth waiting for and is Scout.com's highest rated wide receiver still on the board for Michigan State.

Whenever he pulls the trigger on his decision, if Michigan State is the name he calls, it will be a welcomed decision.
